The Clark Sisters loom large over the modern gospel landscape, which rests mainly on the legacy of their soul and jazz-influenced recordings for Detroit’s Sound Of Gospel label. Sample the highlights here.

In the late 1970s and into the early 80s the Clark Sisters changed the face of gospel music. With the natural musical talent of Elbernita “Twinkie” Clark guiding the way with her compositions, they created music which addressed the important spiritual concerns but melded it with a modern edge.

Amen to this .. a collection made in heaven.  As you mention we should never under estimate the struggles Gospel artistes had to extend their musical and cultural boundaries and take the good word to the people without upsetting the orthodox  churches.  The Clark Sister's opened the door for the likes of  Kenny Bobien and Kirk Franklin to come through . Keep the Faith.
